Can you lead and grow an award winning charity?
We are Olive Branch Aid (OBA), an award-winning Foodbank charity operating in south London, and we are looking for a dynamic and confident Foodbank Manager to work alongside our newly appointed Foodbank Coordinator as well as an energetic team of more than 60 volunteers.
We have achieved so much but we have ambitions to do so much more!

OBA is different
OBA provides a hand-up rather than a hand-out. More than a Foodbank, OBA provides support for 3 months - much longer than most Foodbanks. We also provide an innovative well-being support service that helps service users address the underlying causes of their food needs. In 2024, OBA helped more than 75 households with complex underlying issues, this involved many weeks of telephone calls and meetings and helped prevent at least five families from becoming homeless. OBA also provides free preloved clothing and household goods to help service users get back on their feet.
Since 2023, OBA has its own fully funded premises off Portslade Road next to the Windrush overground station. Despite these successes, we continue to rely entirely on donations for our day to day expenses. As Foodbank Manager, you will help us secure the funding to grow our services and help even more people.
You will bring:
-
A strong track record of fundraising and networking across public and private organisations
-
The ability to articulate a clear compelling vision to our stakeholders and funders
-
The ability to develop and implement effective operational procedures to deliver our goals
-
The authority to lead a values driven organisation in a collaborative and inclusive manner
-
A strong understanding of the voluntary sector;
In return we offer:
-
A flexible part time (32 hr/wk) work environment with hybrid working
-
The opportunity to work with a dynamic, ambitious Board of Trustees
-
A fully funded business plan with exciting growth opportunities
-
A fully funded position complete with NIC and workplace pension
-
A diverse, stable and energetic team of volunteers
If you have questions, please contact Sonya Antoniou-Pamment, Chair of Trustees, for an initial informal chat. We are also happy for you to pop in and see the Foodbank in operation however, as OBA is not open every day, please contact Sonya to arrange a suitable time.
If you would like to apply, please send a covering letter (no more than 2 pages) telling us a little about yourself and how you meet the skills and experience requirements listed in the Job Description. Please include a CV (again no more than 2 pages) and don’t forget to include a contact email and telephone number. The deadline is Friday 22 August 2025.
